I set up a neocities domain today that is holding some basic JS apps that utilize my design philosophy. The websites on neocities are about the old artistic approach to websites and force only HTML, CSS, and JS. I will be hosting some of the games I made on GitHub. I have some things to say today about the bad design that plagued old text and click adventure games. My text adventures never produce the equivalent of "where the fuck do I go?" design, all options are listed as a numbered list, no guess-the-verb or stringing together a sentence. As for point and click adventures I make sure to just make buttons or links that represent the actions, so the exact amount of options at any node in the gamestate graph is completely understood. No moving the mouse around the screen trying to find something to click on. No secrets are hid, just as the Christian God is attributed at the beginning of classical liturgy. The emphasis on graphs represented the game state is why it is called graphsoft.neocities.org. Have fun and stay tuned for more.
